2. www.HidenAnalytical.com Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers for Advanced Science Compact SIMS Overview The Hiden Compact SIMS tool is designed for fast and easy characterisation of layer structures, surface contamination and impurities with sensitive detection of positive ions being assisted by the oxygen primary ion beam and provides isotopic sensitivity across the entire periodic table. The ion gun geometry is set to provide for ideal nanometre depth resolution and near surface analysis.

The MAXIM SIMS/SNMS spectrometer has an electron impact ion source fitted close to its entrance. An external deflector plate removes the secondary ions (which generally constitute less than 1% of the sputtered flux) and allows the neutrals to enter the ioniser. Once ionised, the neutrals follow the same path that SIMS ions would have taken.

12. www.HidenAnalytical.com Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers for Advanced Science Mass for analysis is chosen from a periodic table and can include molecules and multiply charged species. Experienced users can also input data directly.

13. www.HidenAnalytical.com Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers for Advanced Science An integral interference calculator identifies possible mass interferences and suggests relative signal intensities

14. www.HidenAnalytical.com Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers for Advanced Science The experiment flow shown here has three channels (Si, Ge and B). Species can be selected or deselected for analysis – this allows a non-expert user to control a range of experiments from a single template.

15. www.HidenAnalytical.com Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers for Advanced Science During analysis the live acquisition window displays the signal so that the progress of the experiment can be monitored and surface features observed.

16. www.HidenAnalytical.com Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers for Advanced Science During analysis the analysis window displays the depth profile, image data and a 3D representation of the distribution. It also controls the electronic gating. The electronic gate can be optimised independently and interactively for each mass and does not have to be concentric or square.
